The birthplace of a culture, play style, and attitude; the story of NYC basketball is as much mythology as it is history. From Julius “Dr. J” Erving to Earl “The Goat” Manigault, men with jaw-dropping handles and the nicknames to match have proved their worth on courts across the five boroughs spilling over into the tri-state.
Brooklyn Blacktop will be a celebration of this city’s basketball history, as well as an arena for a new generation to earn their place in streetball lore. The best teams the city has to offer, will be hand-selected to go head-to-head for a chance at greatness.
